Hardtail

The Mason 2 is a hardtail that can be ridden aggressively on the kind of trails you might have thought require a full-suspension bike. This trail bike is a fun-loving brawler, yet it practically floats over the rough stuff thanks to its ultra-wide, plus-size 27.5x2.8-inch tires. We hung all manner of rowdy-ready parts on its rugged aluminum frame. The Mason 2 rolls atop our Blanchard 38R tubeless-ready wheels and comes equipped with a RockShox Judy Gold RL 120mm travel fork. A SRAM NX 1x11-speed drivetrain paired with Race Face cranks keeps you motoring uphill and down. Stay on your line thanks to the SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes. The Mason 2 is ready to rumble. - Light and strong aluminum frame with precision-enhancing 148x12 Boost dropouts and rear thru-axle - RockShox Judy Gold RL eats up bumps with its 120mm of plush travel - Race Face cranks and SRAM NX 1x11 drivetrain makes for simple and efficient shifting - Plenty of stopping power, courtesy of SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes - Diamondback's Blanchard 38R wheels and Vee Rubber T-Fatty 2.8" tires offer insanely good grip
